Fried Chicken Drumsticks

I have been craving for some fried chicken for the past few days and finally made some yesterday. Carlos is not a fan of deep fried food but he went for seconds after he took the first bite of it. The chicken drumstick is perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

1 cup of flour4 tbsp of cornstarch1 tsp of salt1 tsp of pepper1 tsp of paprika1 tsp of chili powder

1. Wash, clean, removes skin and fat from chicken drumsticks. Give the drumstick a few cuts with a knife.2. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and place it in a large bowl. Add all the seasoning and mix well. Let it marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours.3. Mix all the flour mixture ingredients together. Mix well and set it aside.4. In a frying pan, put in some vegetable oil and bring it up to medium heat.5. Lightly coat the drumstick with the seasoned flour, shake off the excess flour. Fry the drumstick, turning it often so that it cooks evenly and doesn’t get brown too fast.6. Cook until drumstick it’s done and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve warm or at room temperature.

I always fried chicken at home but Eliot still prefer KFC chicken!! Infact I still have leftover from last week..going to modify it tomorrow wt sambal..I wanna to grab your now!! guess Carlos dunno what he miss all this time,rite?

I love fried chicken! Those that you made look like the hot & spicy KFC back home! Over here in London, the KFC is so disgusting that I had only once I think!Would love to have these now!! I just finished my lunch.. heheh

I just made these for dinner tonight. Delicious and perfect! I served the chicken legs with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. The best part is I have a couple of legs left over for a snack tomorrow!
